5454 > Make sure that turning off TLS inspection also works for issuer hints with the new URL. Don't hard-code the URL with the tenant ID. The tenant ID might change for business-to-business (B2B) users. Use a regular expression to allow both the previous URL and the new URL to work when you turn off TLS inspection. For example, depending on the proxy, use `*.certauth.login.microsoftonline.com` or `*certauth.login.microsoftonline.com`. In Azure Government, use `*.certauth.login.microsoftonline.us` or `*certauth.login.microsoftonline.us`.

7070 Issuer hints send back a *trusted CA* indicator as part of the TLS handshake. The trusted CA list is set to the subject of the CAs that the tenant uploads to the Microsoft Entra trust store. A browser client or native application client can use the hints that the server sends back to filter the certificates shown in the certificate picker. The client shows only the authentication certificates issued by the CAs in the trust store.

417417 Ensure that CBA in each tenant is configured with the username bindings pointing to the `certificateUserIds` field for the field types that you mapped from the certificate. Now any of these users can present the certificate at sign-in. After the unique value from the certificate is validated against the `certificateUserIds` field, the user is successfully signed in.

422422 CA scoping in Microsoft Entra allows tenant administrators to restrict the use of specific CAs to defined user groups. This feature enhances the security and manageability of CBA by ensuring that only authorized users can authenticate by using certificates issued by specific CAs.
